Now, that dark, cratered region informally named after Cthulhu — an octopus-like monster horror writer H.P. Lovecraft created — can now become official.

Name ideas for features on Pluto's largest moon, Charon, need to come from fictional or mythological space travelers or destinations. So the "Star Wars"-inspired Skywalker crater and the "Star Trek"-inspired Vulcan Planum might get to stay.

As for the other moons, Styx's features must be named after river gods. Nix's need to be after gods of the night. And you might want to start thinking of famous dragons for Hydra and dogs for Kerberos, named after the three-headed hound that guards the gates of hell.

Our contribution for that last one? Toto — you know, from "The Wizard of Oz."
